For the site design and logo, I wanted to focus on the contrast between black and color to highlight the whimsical feel of the play. The background color of the site is black to represent the isolation that the island brought to Prospero. Purple is used as an accent color to represent the magic that brought his family to the island where he was able to forgive them.
I designed the logo by altering a basic font in Adobe Illustrator to make each letter look like a lightning bolt. My idea for the logo came from the storm at the beginning of the play that causes the ship to wreck on the island. That event serves as the catalyst for everything else that happens, so I wanted to include it in the site. The color purple is used for the logo to showcase the whimsical aspect of the play. On the home page, I used a black and white picture of Prospero with his staff pointed in the air to create the illusion that he was casting the lightning in the logo. The black and white picture makes the purple text stand out. Over to the side I listed each page that will appear on the site in the order that we discussed in class. The “Cast” page layout continues with the repetition of black with a purple accent. The Tempest logo is aligned on the center of the page with a menu bar underneath. The current page, in this case “cast,” is highlighted in a lighter color so viewers know which page they are on. For the cast page specifically, I thought it would be a good idea to put the entire cast photo at the top, followed by a summery paragraph about the cast. Everything on the page is aligned in the center. At the bottom of the page there are three pictures of cast members, one for each actor that we have interviews for. Viewers will be able to click on the picture of the actor and be taken to another page where the video and more information about the actor will be.
